the bottom line here is there's movement in both toward mitt romney. you're right. the gallup poll had about three days of sampling before the debate that showed obama winning. after the debate, in the four days after the debate, gallup had romney and obama tied. if you look inside these numbers, 70% of people surveyed said that romney beat obama in the debate. he basically crushed obama, voters and independents believe that. we'll see polls out every day, we'll have to make sense of all of these and put them in context. there's unmistakable trend toward mitt romney after the debate. both campaigns have internal polling showing that the race has tightened since the debate. john, one thing i'm looking for are the swing state polls. they usually get them on wednesday, thursday, every week. places like ohio, virginia, florida, to see what the impact of the debate is in those states. i'm sure we'll have a poll every day, every hour from here on out, john. >> that's right. we have a poll on cnn on ohio that will be due baying this afternoon which everyone is waiting to s
